I am not even close to saying a player should be the beneficiary of good luck. I am saying they should be rewarded for actual real life results. And if it is luck that we go by he also played to some bad luck in the first half. I guess maybe I just was a little too impressed by the following results and thought he should be higher than an unusable silver card... The first major league pitcher since 1915 to record at least 120 strikeouts while posting an ERA of 1.00 or better in the second half of a season. Since 1885, became the third pitcher younger than 24 years old to post a season in which he tallied at least 230 strikeouts while permitting 55 or fewer walks to go along with an ERA of 2.75 or better. Joining Clayton Kershaw and Mark Prior. (This one takes the entire season into account, so despite a subpar first half he put up historical SEASON numbers) And I don't remember the exact numbers that MLB Network showed but he had either the second or third best ERA after the break in MLB history depending on if Greg Maddux is included from the strike shortened season when he started way less games. I guess they can fix the obvious massive error in his rating since he just won Pitcher of the Month yet again so they have another chance to give him a real elite card if they gave him another POTM card. |

the big thing you seem to be missing is how the game models pitchers.
It uses a FIP model, not an ERA model. I totally agree with you that by ERA Jack Flaherty had an excellent amazing season, and especially the second half. But if you look at the full season FIP numbers Flaherty was only the 15th best pitcher in MLB this season. The ratings "stuff" "movement" and "control" correspond exactly with strikeouts, homers and walks. The same 3 inputs as FIP. So if you just look at FIP instead of ERA it goes a long way towards explaining my point of view. |

I love FIP and I think it's the best single stat to judge a pitcher's performance. Two things it doesn't cover though: the ability to regularly create soft contact and pitcher's command. These two are pretty important when it comes to balls that are put in play and FIP is telling us nothing about those. Ricky Nolasco and Michael Pineda will forever be the prime examples that in some cases FIP can be pretty missleading.

I am not saying FIP is a perfect measurement, not at all. I am just saying it’s helpful to understand how the game works, because that’s how its pitcher model works. Regardless of the points you made with regards to real world baseball, pitchers do not have a BABIP rating in this game. That’s purely a hitting skill in game.

Got it
Some of this - like pitcher's command - would be hard to implement anyway. How would you measure that? I don't hink there's any stat (yet) that does that. Soft/hard contact and BABIP could be done but implementing it would probably alter some existing ratings and maybe open another can of worms. I'll leave it to the devs to figure that out once it's a part of the game

Not saying I agree with the end result. Alvarez should be higher rated than Vlad right now. But I can see how it happened. |
